Greenbrier River Trail

One of the TOP 10 hiking trails in the U.S.  - Backpacker Magazine

Once a C&O rail line, the Greenbrier River Trail follows 78 miles of the longest free-flowing river in the East. With the river flowing north to south, the trail’s mellow one percent grade and numerous access points make it a great outdoor adventure for most any age.
